examining life

Maybe

2010-11-11T23:51:00.000-08:00

I am part of my own problem. I am upset and feeling like a prisoner in a no win situation. However, I think to help myself I have to be in for more suffering in the short term.

Those of you who need the people closest to you to be in a good mood, to be happy, to be stable, you might understand the chains this "need" creates.

My church steers away from practical application advice, but doesn't praying for wisdom often results in practical instructions for life?

Obviously I can and should continue to pray about my frustration, and part of that may be praying that I would not continue the cycle of hurting myself in the long-term by stopping any waves in this relationship in the short-term.

Maybe it's time other needs were a higher priority than the one I've been protecting of keeping everything super stable.

My Wish

2010-09-04T07:12:00.001-07:00

When I was in elementary school I made a promise to my older sister, "I'll never ask for anything else again."

I might've even said that to God.

We'd received a bag of hand-me-downs, Jessica always got first pick, and in it was a ruffled jean skirt with intentional paint plattering.

Apparently the skirt was amazing to me.

Today, for a moment can I be a child again and make God a promise as an adult I can't keep, a promise that's useless.

"God, I'll never ask for anything else again."

I'd wish upon a thousand birthday cakes if I thought it would help.

Please God, you know how much I want this, and we're not talking about a damn piece of clothing.

Asked hubby to drive my car yesterday so he could get oil changed on his lunch break. So nice, he said yes.

He notices while driving it brakes respond funny. I had noticed nothing. So course he has em checked out. Apparently they need to be replaced. $800/$1k called for on that now.

I had figured out how to come up with that much, but it was for baby stuff!!! This has me praying. I will need to find solutions.

Party City

I recommend this place for candy.

I went there for Nick's bday to get some 'lil party favors and discovered the candy aisle.

Its definately not the cheapest you can buy candy, but everything is little single items, like individually wrapped sour patch kids, so I buy $5 worth of laffy taffy, SPK and whatnot for my snacking pleasure.

Turmeric

2010-07-31T04:32:00.000-07:00

So a google search turns up many more instances of turmeric than tumeric, so its gotta be right.

So many chefs use the opposite, but this is one case where listening to the majority didn't help my education!

I bet Martha Stewart always says it right.

The right kind of tough

2010-02-25T12:13:00.000-08:00

I am turning 30 next month! And boy are there alot of positives about that! I've learned so much where relationships are concerned. One thing I realized is that there were people in my life who liked being around me because it made them feel better about themselves. But they dont really like me for me, or let me be me, they just want the me that works for them. I caused that problem by being willing to be too many things to too many people. I am working on being more authentic and consistently me, even if it ticks people--friends or family--off. I am not on earth to be bullied around by easily-offended people who dont challenge themselves and want people around them to support their carefully crafted, indulgent and boring kingdom.

Innocence

2010-02-25T12:11:00.000-08:00

Sometimes I hate my innocence. Or, really I suppose what I hate is how it makes me feel vulnerable, and so what I really hate is being hurt by hurt people who run over your vulnerability.

Blogs

2010-02-25T12:10:00.000-08:00

Yes, I have in fact 'streamlined' my blogging efforts. That 'A Word' blog does not exist. Although I think I may keep the address name and redirect it here.

Journaling

2010-02-25T12:08:00.000-08:00

So several times I've made a resolution to 'become a journaler' which has not in fact been a resolution I have been good at keeping. Last year I made it to Feb 2nd, and at that an entry was not made every day. This year was even worse. Probably toward the end of January I just... stop....ped.... writing...

To much thinking required?

My Addiction

2009-12-23T22:08:00.000-08:00

I do in fact have a shopping addiction. I always want to buy things. Lately it's clothes. Dresses. Sweater dresses. I've browsed every women's clothing site there is. I decide something would be nice to have it. Then comes googling for 'grey sweater dress' and then 'black sequined dress' and then... Should I be restricted from the computer? Should I be told to go ahead and charge item after item? Should I take up smoking instead of shopping? Should I panhandle? Should I be forced to give my money away?

Weird needs

2009-12-19T00:15:00.000-08:00

I need a shrimp deveiner. The job is kinda a gross one but not cleaning the things is grosser. And I've been eating a good amount of shrimp lately. Its on the short list of things I miss from Hong Kong. (They eat a lot of shrimp there, I like the dumplings)

Dresses

2009-12-19T00:07:00.000-08:00

A good GF and I went to Macy's today. We decided in addition to browsing racks of practical items wed wade through the dress section. We each picked two dresses we liked and 1 we wouldn't necessarily pick out. It was a lot of fun. I liked 2 of the 3 I tried on and the GF looked great in 2 of the four she picked out, including a style she thought was a little out there.

Tiger

2009-12-19T00:04:00.000-08:00

Tiger has been hit over the head a lot a lot a lot a lot. I kinda feel a little pity for him--the jokes are never ending--though I should consider his many many many trangressions during which he had a lot a lot a lot of time to consider the consequences of so very many bad choices.

Maybe on some level he wanted to get caught? But did he see this level of public "punishment" coming his way?

Something tells me he's learned about on the subject of regret.

Celebrities

I find it interesting and/or strange that a celebrity can be a really boring interview, or dull person and yet be a good actor.

Transportation

2009-12-18T16:01:00.001-08:00

A major requirement of my next vehicle purchase will be my ability to enter and exit it like a lady.

I am tired of launching myself off the drivers seat and twisting oddly in order to find leverage to get up and out. I feel like I look like a 70 year old women leaving my car seat.

Bucket Dude

2009-12-17T11:07:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I left Nordstroms and a Salvation Army bell ringer said Merry Christmas. So I returned the greeting. Then I stepped over to the garbage can and threw away a plastic bag that had been holding my wet umbrella so I could open said sheltering device.

Turning around, again facing the bell ringer as I walked he says 'Merry Christmas' and I decide to just keep walking annoyed he couldn't remember seeing my face 30 seconds earlier.

As I leave silently he has the nerve to yell after me, 'Bah Humbug'!

Kelly Ripa has a big head. Anderson Cooper has a small head. He should not co-host with her. Looks weird.

Ok, 90 seconds of that show is enough. Moving on.

Catching the last part of it tonight. MaxxFactor NEEDS to GO. Good grief, would someone tell Valerie she needs hair. Her's and Leslie's haircuts are hideous. You can't be chunky, ugly and have no hair. Get a bob.

Deepak Chopra

2009-12-15T14:30:00.001-08:00

Notes from his interview with Bonnie Hunt:

Wrote 56 books by being obsessive, compulsive and neurotic

Started out in endicrinology. Included study of the brain.

Hasn't felt stress in 30 years.

Chemistry in happy tears is different than in sorrowful tears.

Body is an energy field connected to everything in the universe.

Listen to your what your body says is uncomfortable or unhappy. Decipher what its saying. It will tell you how to move into happiness. Be aware of your body. It can lead you.

7 keys to happiness. Don't have grievances or resent anything. Live in the present. Observe your breath. It is now, it will bring you into the present.

A spirit is in the present, mind is in the past. You can feel when someone is present.

Sobriety comes from being in the moment, this moment of power.

Regarding self-esteem, say to yourself: I am beneath no one, I'm immune to criticism.

Distinguish between feelings and facts, "ie is that really true?"

Michael Jackson was one of the most talented genuises of our time.

(I'll come back to this and my thoughts on it all later)
